Okay. It's a quiet, Sunday morning. The place is quiet. I'll kick this one off, so;

Dollachick; They're, most probably, " Rooks ". We have up to half a dozen sorts of 'Crow', on this island. Rooks are probably the most numerate, actually. " Jackdaw " second, I'd guess? Both sociable. So can be seen in huge flocks.

You say: " We have a problem with crows. "

And, in my (former) professional capacity, I'd ask ye: " What Actual Problem are these 'crows' causing ye?

Get a store front mannequin from somewhere and dress it in casual clothing and use it as a scarecrow. It probably would make a good fox deterent two..spray with perfume or deoderant from time to time. Make it as human as you can.

The other alternative is to build a ladder trap like this one
